Oh I dunno. I suppose it's a power trip to some degree. But mostly not. For me it's like walking through a beautiful park and seeing a pile of poop in the road ahead. Do you change course to avoid the poop or do you step in it because we need variety?

Hey to each their own. Judging by some films I've seen some people think poop is a sexy turn-on. I know me. I know what stinks to me and I don't want to deal with it. If "it's all good" as you two seem to be saying then it's also good that I add people who I perceive as "poopy" to my ignore list.

In my case it's got little or nothing to do with being attached to my decisions, choices, or opinions. I love being challenged and corrected. It's how it's done that makes it a turn on or a turn off.

If someone just calls everyone who doesn't agree with them an idiot and additionally doesn't even justify their fierce position and comment then to me that stinks. And just like poop if there's allot of it I'm going to try and avoid it.

I don't want to read someone belittling another. It really bums me out. And I don't like being bummed out!

Nothing more than that.

You are unique.

I wish I could turn away more. I can't stand it when people spout nonsense. Drives me bonkers.

In the situation you illustrated there, I would be the guy who grabs the cleaning gear and cleans it up, then tracks down the animal that left the poop and severely (and pointlessly) reprimands it.

I'm also the guy that likely winds up in jail for assault.

:lol:

Poop is a good thing... It's fertilizer it helps things grow...:mrgreen:

Don't be mad at people for they know not what they do... I actually laugh! But your point is understood.

I just wanna say I don't get this thread at all.

Hehe, well hopefully the mods here will keep most of it clean. There's a few individuals that have brown-nosed a mod or two to death and literally have passage to get away with behavior that would normally get any other user banned.

At the same time over-moderation is a drag too. So far this place is better than most - all things considered.

Yup! Good advice! :thumbup: I try not to judge the person and only judge the text as objectively as possible. I took Alpha off ignore for example cuz his last few started threads and nearly all his replies were objective and adult without the personal stuff that bums me out so much.

So to continue the parallel I try not to get mad at the creature that took the dump in the middle of the road but I still try to avoid stepping in it or exposing myself to it. :lmao:

Oh no.... I said 'exposing myself' in a thread with Yemme in it. :sexywink:

Stick around it might make sense.

Ah I see now this is open season on me.

Fair enough.

Two things.

Being forward and blunt is being forward and blunt. It only becomes aggressive and rude if you believe there is some sort of malice at play. If you think the former necessarily means the latter then you misunderstand me and I do, in fact, belong on your ignore list. If my posts had malice of forethought then it would be patently obvious even to those who don't link the two, and that obviously isn't the case, so perhaps you should re-examine.

Believing that one is right doesn't intrinsically make them narrow minded. I fully consider everyone else's views before considering them wrong (when I do consider them wrong). Sometimes (if you look you'll find it), I do in fact consider myself wrong.

The Ignore List is the worst invention ever to hit a community. If you want to see how it plays out on a macro level, jst look at cable news - one half watches Fox, the other CNN, and never the twain shall meet.

How stupid is that?

Cnn is pretty good but I do prefer Fox news though:thumbup:

Yeah your wrong a lot, and rest of us are wrong a lot too. So lets all get along. The only way you could be right more than wrong is if your not human.
